Natural Designed Joint
Mobility All Your Life.
This is the name that I want to use to define my technique, lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it. All my marketing advisers say that this is a stupid idea because
-- it's unpronounceable
-- it doesn't have a meaning
-- no one has ever heard of
it
-- etc
I shall probably start to use
it soon anyway. Not having a meaning is
an advantage in that the meaning and identity will slowly develop. I believe in it strongly enough to believe
that this will happen.
It is pronounced like African
word such as Nkomo. The n is pronounced
separately and in this case the d is silent.
Maybe the best pronunciation in English would-be un--jamayl.
The African pronunciation is
no accident. I believe that it is to
the most naturally living people in Africa that we should look for the correct
or most nearly correct use of the human body.
We have traditionally looked east for the correct model of sitting
habits but those civilisations had already developed back problems and just
found different solutions from ourselves in the West.
Another thing that we need to
learn from Africans is the looseness that they manage to maintain in their
bodies and limbs by their lifestyle.
The silent d in the word
Ndjmayl is also important to me.
Evolution has literally designed each part of the human body for its use
over the period of a similar lifestyle.
For much of the body, and particularly for the spine, this means that
the design has been tuned over the last 5 million years since we first became
bipedal. If we use it correctly, understanding the design, it will work well
for us.
